A compilation of materials from the ‘Signs and Symptoms of Childhood Cancer’ campaign conducted by UICC in partnership with Childhood Cancer International (CCI) and the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) has been added to the portal.
In the three year campaign, conducted between 2014-2017, a suite of materials was developed to assist health workers to recognize suspicious signs of cancer in children and encourage referral to appropriate health facilities for timely testing, diagnosis and treatment. The campaign produced posters, pocket cards with common differential diagnoses and talking head videos. The visual materials, developed by international childhood cancer experts, have been translated into over forty languages and are being used in community settings, trainings, as well as in clinics and hospitals. This document provides all of the materials, along with implementation case studies, and can be integrated in part or as a whole package into learning and training activities on childhood cancer and child health more broadly.
